'Alice in Borderland' Season 2 ending explained: What that wild ... (Inverse)

It all started with fireworks, or so we thought. As Ariusu, Chota, and Karube run into the subway station at Shibuya Crossing in the very first episode of Alice ...

The Joker, our ferryman to Borderland, still exists, which means Borderland is still there, just beyond the veil of our world. In the manga, the Joker is a mysterious character, implied to be a kind of Borderland ferryman. The proof is in Arisu and Usagi: Because of their Borderland connection, or perhaps because they simply like one another, the two strike up a flirty conversation by the vending machine in the hospital. during the Civil War and was originally created as a trump card in the trick-taking game of Euchre. The Joker as a card originated in the U.S. Much of Alice in Borderland Season 2 was devoted to exploring the role of “dealers” and “citizens” in Borderland. Yaba and Banda, two characters who revel in the violent abuse of power Borderland allows even more than our real world, choose to stay.) Ann, who seemingly dies in Borderland and therefore is unable to make a choice, survives; in the hospital, we see the doctors successfully able to restart her heart. Their hearts stopped, and that is the time they spent in Borderland. (The first phase being the numbered-card games that the Borderland players collectively clear in Season 1.) In a flashback, we see the man who would become the King of Spades accepting the position at the end of the previous cycle; it is implied that, before becoming the face card-killer, he was someone like Aguni, fighting to take down the previous King of Spades. At the end of Season 1, we discover that Momoka and Asahi are “dealers,” people who have been recruited to make and monitor the games in exchange for extended visas and the hope they might eventually be able to leave Borderland. Alice in Borderland is back on Netflix, just in time to celebrate the holidays. As Ariusu, Chota, and Karube run into the subway station at Shibuya Crossing in the very first episode of Alice in Borderland, fireworks explode in the sky above the city.

'Alice in Borderland' Season 2: Ending, Explained - What Does The ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

The second season of the Netflix series "Alice in Borderland" tells us how hypocritical and pretentious human beings are. Its narrative gives a critique of.

The Joker is considered to be a wild card of the highest order, and maybe Shinsuke Sato and his team of writers wanted to hint at what we could expect from “Alice in Borderland” Season 3. Aguni decided to be the bait, but the King of Spades’ ferocity was unparalleled, and eventually, everybody had to come out of hiding and fight with him. Aguni, on the other hand, was hiding in the forest with Akane Heiya and making a strategy to kill the King of Spades. He told Niragi that though he desperately wanted to go to the real world, he was not ready to do it at the cost of someone else’s life. The group believed that together they could kill the King of Spades and proceed to the next game. He said that in his world, the games were a personification of conversations, but the difference was that here, the participants always spoke the truth. A person might have pretended to be a sage who was ready to sacrifice his life for the sake of others and the games in the Borderland proved whether what he said was right or wrong. Chishiya also had to face a similar dilemma when the grandson of the board of directors was given preference on the heart transplant list, and the one without any such backing was left to die by the doctors. Arisu, Usagi and others soon found out that the motive of the games was not only to pose a challenge in front of the competitors but also to make them privy to their own real selves. Human beings live a life of contradictions and ostentatiousness, and the games were devised in such a manner that they peel off the layers and expose the real nature of each and every individual. Kyuma and his teammates, i.e., Shitara, Uta, Maki and Goken used to play in a band together, but in due course of time, they made the decision to stay in the Borderland. So, let’s see what kind of challenges Face Cards pose in front of the players and if they are able to return to their real world once they have completed the games successfully.

Alice in Borderland Season 2 Ending Explained (TV Guide)

We break down the ending of Alice in Borderland Season 2, from the Queen of Hearts game to Arisu and Usagi returning to the real world.

There is a deck of cards on a table outside the hospital building, and the final shot zooms in on the joker card. In the manga, one of the last scenes is Arisu asking his brother about going to college. For most of the show, Arisu has seemingly believed that his life is worthless unless he found a clear answer to this question of why he survived. There is of course also the scene with Arisu and Usagi meeting for what appears to be the first time in this reality, in front of the vending machine. The answer was in the title all along: "Borderland" is a place where you go when you're at the border of life and death. Niragi's face was covered in burns this season, and the scene of him back in real life shows the same wounds. In the manga, the tea that Mira gives Arisu in between the rounds of croquet is laced with a hallucinogen. Once the survivors give their responses — everyone rejects the offer besides the two characters we met in the Jack of Hearts game, Banda and Yaba — we finally learn the truth about this alternate world. While Arisu is experiencing this vision where he's receiving treatment from Mira, the Queen of Hearts probes his deepest fears and regrets about having survived instead of Karube and Chota. [Riisa Naka](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/riisa-naka/3000385270/)), who was revealed to be the one orchestrating the games at the end of Season 1. It's here that Arisu once again asks about "the real world," and Mira begins her trickery. [Keita Machida](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/keita-machida/3030647899/)) and Chota ( [Yuki Morinaga](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/yuki-morinaga/3030886906/)) — RIP to those two, we're still not over Seven of Hearts and will never get over it — finding themselves in a Tokyo where most humans have disappeared.

Does Chishiya Die in 'Alice in Borderland' Season 2? (Decider)

Wondering if Chishiya dies in 'Alice in Borderland' Season 2? Consider this your guide to Chishiya's possible death and the fate of this fan favorite ...

He was still alive with Arisu and Usagi defeated the Queen of Hearts and won Borderland, which meant that Chishiya was offered two choices: he could stay in Borderland permanently or leave it for whatever was beyond.

Alice in Borderland Recap: How to Live (Vulture)

Like the players in Borderland, the citizens have wildly different ideas about humanity that inform how they play the game. From the Queen of Spades' ...

When she finds a dead deer in the Borderland woods, she remembers her time as a forensic scientist for the police. Ultimately, Chishiya deduces what Kuzuryu is looking for and gives it to him: He tells Kuzuryu that he will choose 100, even going so far as to show him his tablet screen, forcing the game maker to directly, explicitly choose whether Chishiya will live or die. We see him working to save the life of a young boy, only to learn from one of his superiors that the boy’s place on a transplant donor list has been bumped in favor of a more privileged sick child. If the game is about deducing what your opponent will do and then acting accordingly, then Chishiya uses the game that Kuzuryu created to understand more about him. (I say most because face cards will always have the advantage of foreknowledge over players.) The game is called Balance Scale, and it has five players, one of whom is the King of Diamonds himself, strapped to chairs around a round table in a courthouse. We learn from flashbacks that Kuzuryu was a lawyer for a shitty company where he used his skill set to get his bosses out of taking accountability for the lives their profit-making took. She bets her game and life on it and probably has a fair amount of evidence — from both our world and her time in Borderland — to prove the theory. It’s a cold and lonely place, but because of my life there, I was able to discover the kindness in people here. Kuzuryu, the King of Diamonds, needs clarification when it comes to his views on humanity and how he wants to live his life. To make it past the Queen of Spades, however, Usagi will have to convince some of the other players in Checkmate that they should aim higher than a life of killing for the Queen. I want to go back and start over there again.” Usagi isn’t promising these people puppies and rainbows — she’s not even promising them that a return to the real world is possible — but she is promising them the chance at something better. She calls Usagi a hypocrite for playing with different values in mind, assuming that she will eventually abandon the 10-year-old boy she promised to protect when her own life is at stake.
